ARCHER AND ANDRETTI’S TOP 10 BATTLE AT
MID-OHIO ENDS WITH UNFORTUNATE RESULTS

Lexington, OH – The final
standings of the 45 lap race at
historic Mid-Ohio Sports Car
Course did not reflect the
type of day both Archer
Brothers and ECC Motorsports team drivers Tommy
Archer and Adam Andretti
had throughout today’s race.
Andretti, who worked his way
through the pack from his 8th
place starting position, battled for 2nd position with the
top 6 cars until a last lap incident had him crossing the
start finish line in 12th position. Archer, driving the #54
Camaro, improved his starting

position and was solidly in the
6th position after 16 laps, had
his day end early due to a mechanical failure and concluded with an 18th place finish.
“The left front break fitting
cracked, causing fluid to be
lost in the front brakes. I
thought the brakes were
overheating but after the 2nd
spin I knew we had a bigger
problem as there wasn’t any
breaks left,” says Archer.
“While I’m disappointed at
our end result, especially after
the crew working so hard this
weekend, I’m happy that the

car is in good shape and there
isn’t any damage. I’m already
looking forward to our next
race at Road America!”
